Lol it didn't last too long.

I just randomly found this match while watching 1991 shows on YouTube.

Ric Flair wins when Shawn Michaels knocks himself out diving into the rail, Jannety runs down and rolls Shawn back into the ring after a good 90 seconds on the floor and Ric pins him straight away.

I really miss the illusion of devastation. What would lay a guy out for 90 seconds nowadays?

Ric didn't even hit him when he was rolled back into the ring, he literally just pins him.

i've seen that match. An underwhelming affair...Shawn hadn't found his rhythm as a singles guy. He only started showing real glimpses of what he'd become in that sphere in 1993ish, I think.

Also, just watching Hogan footage from 84 and pondering his run. Always interesting to consider that the Mega Powers angle was almost a direct copy of Orndorff/Hogan. Though the characters involved made it feel different.

I think I just found another clip of a wig coming off. Or at least a big chunk of hair.

What the hell is that?!
The guy Johnny Ringo isn't wearing a necklace or anything.

Looks like hair.

It's crazy how fucking over Hogan was the minute he showed back up. Rewatched the January 7th 1984 Championship Wrestling show which was his return to that show. He gets the loudest pop I've ever seen on that show. It's amazing.

He does the worst fucking leg drop I have ever seen in that clip up there.
He went the wrong way so he ends up dropping both legs on the guy.

I have a question for you two:

Where does Andy Kaufman rank on the list of best heels of all time?

I never saw his heels.

Skinnier calves than Ric Flair though.

Boooooo

I think for him to be in consideration as a great heel he would have to have done much more for a lot longer. Wrestling women from the crowd was a pretty great idea though, and the addition of some national exposure for Jerry Lawler was a nice result.

I don't rate his work or his gimmick much higher than "interesting novelty" but I respect the attention he brought with him.

He was probably a better worker than Rufus R Jones though.

I should have said "top" heel not great heel, obviously he was a great heel.
Just not one of THE greats.

He was perfect for Memphis and their style. I don't think it would have worked as well anywhere else. There's footage of Vince McMahon interviewing Kaufman at an MSG show. He actually went to Vince but Vince Sr wanted no part of it so Bill Apter connected Andy to Lawler.

Huge crowd reaction and also I had no idea Backlund was using the crossface chicken wing way back then. I thought his finish was an atomic drop or something.

Well, I just saw my first bad Bobby Eaton match.
Not his fault at all.

Erik freaking Watts man, no timing or finesse and he looks like a milkman.

Crowd was popping for Erik Watts too.
I feel a bit sick now.

Poor Bobby.

He was until 1982

DANGEROUS!

Marty Garner.

He later had MVP's first match in 2006 and later made fun of MVP's wrestling attire in the newsletters which drew a reaction from the WWE lol

It looks like he's going for the Chuck Austin payday in that gif.

Heard a story today about the British Bulldog's mascot Matilda being constipated and Jimmy Jack Funk volunteering to stick his finger up Matilda's ass to clear the blockage.

I heard a lot of fucked up stories today. Marty Jannetty wants to bang his daughter, says he got hacked.
God damn.

the things they did to that poor dog

Marty!!!

Would you rather......

we're acting like Marty hasn't already had sex with at least three or four of his first cousins.

fat WHOORS!

Just listening to the Brutus Beefcake episode of Something To Wrestle With Bruce Prichard and the full extent of the parasailing injury is actually unbelievable. I knew it was bad, I knew he had full facial reconstruction but Holy shit... the actual details are crazy.

Give that a listen if you have a strong stomach, I am reeling from what I just heard.

I warn you now, it is disgustingly graphic.

Conrad looks like a Bahraini kid I went to school with

I member when TPWW was just starting out, Marty Jannetty was a guy who would frequent message boards and would tell amazing stories about the boys and hijinks and seemed like an awesome dude. I’m disappointed to learn that, like all message board posters, he ended up being an absolute creep.

HAPPY 50,000 POSTS ON AN INTERNET WRESTLING FORUM SUPREME MOTUMBO!!!

Did you listen to the horrors?

Good gravy.....no face...

It's the bit where he says a guy had to stuff his hand in his mouth to open it so he could breathe because his face was effectively sliding down what was left of his head...
